Gareth Jones - 'Sea - What I See'

Saturday 2 June - Saturday 30 June

An exhibition of paintings and drift wood sculptures by artist Gareth Jones

Originally from North Wales Gareth studied art and graphics at Flintshire and Loughborough Colleges of Art. Art, drawing and painting have been constant elements of his life since childhood. Initially a freelance illustrator, he enjoyed a successful career in Graphics before becoming a full time professional artist in 2010.Gareth lives and works in his studio/gallery overlooking Swansea Bay and Kenfig Nature Reserve in South Wales. The coasts of Britain including Wales, Cornwall, Norfolk and Kent, provide Gareth's main inspiration but he also draws from a wide variety of sources including travel and everyday objects. Recording in sketchbooks, photographs and using mental notes, he has a keen eye for composition, shade and light and colour. Gareth works primarily in acrylics, but pastels and mixed media are also employed in a representational style that is evocative and accurate, yet not slavish, in it's approach.

All of Gareth's work will be available for purchase during the exhibition.

Gareth will be present at the Gallery on the opening Saturday from 12pm.
